Christopher Hayes, Editor at Large of The Nation and MSNBC talk show host, says for the last decade or more our institutions have let us down, in a big way. And it’s getting worse.

Hayes argues, in his book “Twilight of the Elites,” it’s because of a failure in leadership by our elites. And that, he says, is because of a principle at the very heart of what we have come to believe makes America great — a meritocracy. If you’re good, you rise to the top and become an elite.

But Hayes argues, the more elitist American society gets, the worse the caliber of elites it produces.

Christianity is under a relentless media attack in America, says conservative commentator S. E. Cupp. She says the multi-pronged assault — from the New York Times to network TV to Hollywood — is aimed at undermining and marginalizing Christianity.

Cupp claims to have unique credentials to make this argument, since she is a self-described atheist. Her book is called “Losing Our Religion.”
